The U-505 (commandant Harald Lange 1903/1967) was captured by the US Navy on June 4, 1944, after being damaged by depth charges and forced to surface off the coast of French Morocco. The crew was taken prisoner and the submarine was towed back to Bermuda for examination, where it was later repaired and converted into a training vessel for the US Navy.
It is now on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago as a memorial to the war effort and a symbol of the Allies' victory over the German U-boat fleet.
